Central Region

Rosen Bowl III Preview

On Saturday, September 19 the UW-Stout Dodgeball Club is hosting their third home tournament in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Recreation Complex. The building’s address is:

712 South Broadway Street
Menomonie, WI 54751

The Bluedevils will host the Blugolds in both scrimmage matches and each club’s first ranked match of the 2026-27 school year. Both teams are structured similarly being comprised mostly of rookies looking to their experienced club leaders for guidance. Some members of the newly formed UW-Stevens Point Dodgeball Club will also attend and participate in scrimmage matches.

For those unable to attend in person, matches will be streamed and recorded on the Bluedevil Dodgeball Club’s YouTube channel.

The schedule can be viewed below.

Cue 1 @ 11 am- UWS vs. UWEC (Scrimmage)

Cue 2 @ 12:15 pm- Mixed 1 vs. Mixed 2 (Scrimmage) | UWEC vs. Mixed 3 (Women’s Scrimmage)

Cue 3 @ 1:30 pm- UWS vs. UWEC (Official Match)

UW-Stout

This year has so far been a successful recruiting season for the Bluedevils. Stout’s rookies will be leaning on the veteran leadership of players like Angel Lucero, Tyler Mathison, and Kaden Brede. Coach Jacob will be looking to get his rookies some tournament experience at home before the season kicks into full gear in October. If this year’s rookie class is anything like last year’s, Stout will have some players in contention for the All Region Rookie list.

The Bluedevils will be hoping to repeat their successes of the Rosen Bowl II where they outpaced the Blugolds and controlled momentum for nearly the entire event.

UW-Eau Claire

Eau Claire too has done well with recruitment. The Blugolds are expecting to bring a full 12 to a tournament for the first time in club history. The relatively short drive is the perfect opportunity for this young squad to get experience.

It was only late last fall that the Blugolds began to find their team’s on-court identity. With over half of the roster being rookies, the team will be leaning on the experience of Cleo Moen, Kaitlynn Moore, and Jason Bleskan, to name a few. Several players were able to gain some experience in the National Dodgeball Association (NDA) format at the Tim Ebert Memorial Scholarship Tournament last weekend.

Central Region Women’s 2026 Season Recap

The past few seasons have gifted the central region with significant growth in its women’s teams. University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign (UIUC) got the ball rolling by participating in the first ever women’s national tournament, and University of Wisconsin-Platteville (UWP) was quick to follow by forming their own team to compete the following year. Now the central region has three official women’s teams, the third being University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), who were unable to attend nationals this year. Now, at the end of the 2026 season, there are three more schools who have a chance at forming teams and joining the women’s league. This is huge! The women’s league has been dominated by Michigan State University and University of Akron since its debut, so seeing the league branch out of the Ohio/Michigan region into the central region is very exciting to be a part of. Let’s take a look at how the women of the central region did this season!
